Miller, Eulogist -Interment- Green Cypress Missionary Baptist Church Cemetery fVe all were meant to learn some things, A resting place along the road. Different paths along the way. We all have different journeys. Life is but a stopping place, A pause in what's to be. but never meant to stay... to sweet eternity. Our destination is a place. Far greater than we know. For some the journeys quicker. For some the journeys slow. And when the journey finally ends, we'll claim a great reward. And find an everlasting peace. Together with the lord.
